I am hoping someone can help me identify the program that aided this man.

My husband is now an area supervisor in his company. There is a man, who came legally from Vietnam that has been with the company for some time now, but has remained static in his position, content I suppose, and makes less than my husband.

The other day he was talking to my husband, asking if he knew about the Section 8 program. My husband told him he really did not know much about it, and then asked why. This man explained he was considering it as a means to rent out one of his three houses....

My husband said he had to stand back and look him over to see if he was serious, he was, and then the question came to my husbands mouth "how did you get three houses working here?" (he also owns the house he lives in). He told my husband that when he first came here the government helped him buy a house, although he was making very little, and went on about how nice the American government has been to him, and how they also gave him money to get himself started up in buying other houses too.

Aside for the fact that this man is a nice man, and his gratitude was sincere and he was not aware how offended my Vietnam Veteran (wounded over there too) husband was by this new knowledge. I too am offended, but not because of him, how could he have known that this cash cow the government apparently offers anyone, except their own citizens, to go out and become homeowners not only once, but several more times, is not offered to this nations own citizens who have shed their blood, sweat and tears over the success and defense of it all.

So, we have been trying to get out of the slum rental we have been stuck in for so long, and just am wondering about this government program, and plan to go and talk to this program about getting some help. Wondered if anyone here has any idea which one would have put forth so much funding to help with down payments and excessively low interest on the mortgages? Was this ACORN, or some other corrupted group? Or was this an actual goverment agency doing this?

If it is a legitimate government agency, then I think it is high time for them to roll out the red carpet for their own citizens the way they have for others, and if they simply cannot afford to do that, then I think it is high time they stop offering something to people who are here with no savings, no proven credit history and are at the bottom of the pay scale, when the citizens of this nation plow on, working our tails off to pay the taxes that give them this very money, taking away the chance for us to build up any savings which we seem to be required to have in order to buy a home.

I am angry not just for ourselves, but for many out there, who have been robbed blind by a government who then turns and gives away this money to people, who although here through sometimes very difficult circumstances, had yet to work their way up the ladder like the citizens have.

I think there should be no more funding, no more government give-aways of taxpaying citizens hard earned dollars anymore. No more special "grants" because you stepped onto American soil for the first time, and no more low interest loans offered to just a few. If it cannot be offered to all, then no one should be singled out for special favor.

Anyone know which goverment agency does this?
